It's hot, in case you haven't noticed. Between racking up massive air conditioning bills and braving record-breaking heatwaves, Highsnobiety's New York and London-based teams have been fantasizing about frosty weather.
With those fantasies, of course, come necessary planning. Unbeholden to sweat and stickiness, what will our fall 'fits look like? What new pieces are we incorporating — or at least dreaming of incorporating — into our winter wardrobes?
Let's dig into team Highsnobiety's dream Fall/Winter 2022 pieces, from Bottega Veneta's leather tank top to JW Anderson's elephant-printed sweater dress.
Louis Vuitton's carpenter pant
"In a dream world where I needn't worry about my checking account balance, I'd purchase these carpenter jeans in a heartbeat. I usually can't stand all-over monograms, but I think I've been looking for these "destroyed" Japanese boro floral bottoms my whole life. Florals for FW22? Groundbreaking. But actually." - Elaine YJ Lee, Senior Editor
Bottega Veneta's leather tank top
"If I could be gifted any one item from a luxury label's FW22 collection, it'd be hard to pick anything except Bottega Veneta's leather tank top. As a year-round Tank Top Enjoyer, I'm seeing so many upsides: it's inherently insulating, free from any gaudy branding, long enough to tuck, and plenty more stylish than HeatTech. Too bad it's 1000x more expensive than Uniqlo." - Jake Silbert, News Editor
sacai x Nike's Cortez Zoom
"Since they first hit the 'net in January, sacai’s Nike Cortez Zoom sneakers have been high on my wishlist. sacai’s doubled-up details joining forces with the famed Forrest Gumps? The sacai x Nike Cortez was a no-brainer for me, AKA someone who’s a massive fan of all sacai’s Nike projects and the OG Cortez silhouette. I have big rotation plans for the sacai x Nike Cortez if the sneaker gods are good to me on release day." - Morgan Smith, Style Writer
Acne Studios' tie dye sweatpants
"I first saw a sample of these back in April, and they’ve been on my mind ever since. Living in London, I already know we’re in for a cold and gloomy fall, so cozying up in a pair of fleece trousers couldn’t be a better idea. Plus, the color is guaranteed to brighten even the dullest of days." - Tora Northman, Head of TikTok
Stone Island Shadow Project's leather jacket
"Honestly, I've never been more excited for temperatures to drop. As soon as that winter cold breezes in, I'm setting my sights on Stone Island Shadow Project. It feels like I haven't thrown a jacket on in years — Shadow Project FW22 has some tasty options, and this piece in particular is giving Seraph from the Matrix. I need it." - Sam Cole, Style Writer
JW Anderson's elephant dress
How freaking cute is JW Anderson's elephant print?! Colorful, George Condo-esque, and vaguely reminiscent of the dream sequence in Dumbo, Anderson's fall mascot graces outerwear, T-shirts, and accessories — but its most charming rendition appears on a cozy sweater dress, knit with three bright orange elephants stacked in a neat column. Circus animals never looked so good. - Alexandra Pauly, Style Writer
